1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

case presentationAn 83-year-old man with a history of left corneal transplant presented to the emergency department with several days of left eye pain, redness, and tearing. Visual acuity was 20/50 in the right eye and bare light perception in the left eye. Intraocular pressure was 15 millimeters fo mercury in the right eye and unobtainable in the left. The left conjunctiva and sclera were injected, and slit-lamp examination revealed a full-thickness corneal perforation with corneal haze in the transplanted cornea. We placed a rigid eye shield, provided systemic analgesia, kept the patient nil per os, and obtained urgent ophthalmology consultation. DISCUSSION: Corneal perforation is a full-thickness corneal defect that disrupts globe integrity and allows aqueous leakage. It may result from infection, ocular surface disease, autoimmune disorders, trauma, or prior keratoplasty, with graft-host junction instability representing a key risk factor. Diagnosis is clinical, based on visible perforation, a positive Seidel test, or anterior chamber shallowing.
